The Song of Breathing tells the story of masters of nomadic cultures, confronted with globalization and the Western culture, aware that their knowledge is in jeopardy and once lost it will be irrecoverable. Their young students learn to listen to their environments, the peculiar songs and become aware of their own breathing. The idea of the film comes from an intimate experience: during pregnancy and at the time of giving birth, I rediscovered an almost primitive way of listening. My singing guided my breath, the Breath guided me and the creature I carried in my womb during growth and birth / rebirth: the birth of my daughter and my rebirth. I perceived my body as a sounding board and felt the vibrations of a great breath that unites us. Singing and breathing eased my pain, so much so that while giving birth I didn't scream but I sang. Pregnancy is a wonderful journey. I kept looking for that great unifying breath into the world.
